Blazingly fast! Requires a lot of space in the computer, though. [Posted on 2007-04-28]
Wow, this is a great card! I bought it to replace my BFG 7900GS w/256MB. The performance is terrific, even in older games such as Unreal Tournament 2004. I can enable every performance draining option and it FLIES.
Doom3 really takes benefit of the extra onboard RAM as well.
The problem is, the card is HUGE. It takes up two chassis slots. For smaller cases, this card will be a very tight fit. Not to mention, SLI-based boards will be at an additional disadvantage due to PCI slot layout - my sound card fits directly next to this card's fan assembly. Fortunately, the video card is so long that the fan is mostly unobstructed. Even still, it runs rather warm. I'm going to have to do some maneuvering to improve the airflow.
I'm looking forward to Flight Simulator X next...
My specs:
Asus A8N32-SLI mobo
4GB RAM (PNY Optima DDR400)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
300GB Seagate SATA HD
BFG 8800 GTS 640MB
Windows Vista Ultimate
Also, be sure to download nTune from Nvidia's website; it's a terrific tool to monitor and adjust settings.

Fantastic Card.. not noisy as previously reviewed..great graphics.. Very Prompt delivery.. would definately buy from this seller again.. in fact already have. Works great with Microsoft Flightsim 10 and Windows Vista 32 bit.. have yet to try with the 64 bit Vista. Note: Needs a full sized tower as the card is long and requires 1 pci slot but 2 pci openings. Great seller, huge range of products and good prices.
